The Ground Server itself can have a public or private address but it must be visible on the outside with a public static address. Your IT department will need to open three UDP ports in your external router(s) and/or the firewall(s) for the system to function properly. Each mobile device (up to 8) in the WQAR will automatically be assigned an IP address, via your SIM provider’s DHCP server, as each device creates a connection to the cellular network. Most airlines today use this method since having static addressing on the WQAR brings no additional advantage except perhaps some extra security in some respects.
